Made for these buds

REDMI Buds 8 Pro.
Meet your Mac.

Tested with the Chinese variant on firmware 1.2.3.6 and 1.2.3.7. Requires macOS Sonoma 14 or later. Other models and regional variants haven’t been verified.

Pair your earbuds in Bluetooth settings, open Redmi Buds Bar, and click the earbuds icon. That’s it.

Noise controls, battery levels, gestures, EQ, supported audio settings, and official firmware updates. New setting writes, fit tests, and find sounds still need on-device user testing.

Also available for iPhone with iOS 26 or later: download the unsigned IPA. Your own signing is required before installation.
